Native Instruments has released Evolve, the Kontakt-based instrument created by sound design house Heavyocity, the team behind Damage and the Evolve Mutations series.

Evolve offers a full-scale resource for cinematic sound design that brings together a vast selection of sounds, rhythms and FX, designed specifically for film composers and sound designers. With approximately 6 GB of sample content, Evolve provides a go-to resource for premium quality cinematic sounds, textures and ambiences. A huge variety of styles are included in the instrument, ranging from punchy beats for dramatic tension, atonal stings for added suspense, or serene melodic lines for intricate tonal sequences.

Evolve was previously only available from Heavyocity, the sound design house who also created Damage and the Evolve Mutations series in partnership with Native Instruments. Now, for the first time, producers and sound designers are able to access this resource for cinematic expression in one place. Furthermore, Evolve has also been optimized for Maschine, allowing users to browse for sounds and categories directly from the hardware, for an enhanced workflow.

Evolve is now available for a suggested price of $229 / €199 from authorized dealers and at the NI Online Shop. An upgrade for owners of Evolve Mutations 1 or 2, or the bundle, is available for $119 / €99 at the NI Online Shop.
